Stalin instituted the policy called "collectivization" in order to modernize agriculture in the Soviet Union. This policy forces individual farms to join together as one large enterprise working according to directions from the central planning agency, rather than by individual farmers. Collectivization came in two forms, "kolkhozes" and "sovkhozes."
In the "kolkhoz," farmers rented the land from the state and ran it according to their own methods, provided they met their quotas.
In "sovkhozes," the government ran the farm while the farmers were just like wage employees with no say in how things were done.
